Summary0003750: Table E.9 - CharArray should be renamed to String
Description

The model compiler incorrectly uses String instead of CharArray when generating BSDs. Many existing applications assume this was what meant. The spec should be updated to reflect this.

Recommend removing the existing String and WideString types and only having the length prefixed versions.

A 1.03 errata is required.

Are you proposing that String and WideString are removed altogether, meaning that BSDs all need to be re-generated and everyones parsers updated, or that they basically become an alias for CharArray and WideCharArray?

If they become aliases, is it no longer possible to (easily) describe a null-terminated String in the binary type system? You'd have to describe it using a Char type with Terminator element instead...?

removed WideChar, CharArray, WideCharArray and updated the definitions of String and WideString.

This was done so that the Spec matches the existing code generators.
